Summary

It's here: the sequel to Do They Know It's Christmas Yet?, the hilarious comedy novel that joyfully transported us all back to 1984.

Tash and Jamie are back, and no one could be less pleased than her. They accidentally went to 1984 and broke it. But together they sorted out their mess. Or so they thought. Now the hapless sister and brother are back, and this time it's a matter of life or death.

How far would you go to save a life? How about stealing a million pounds? Sometimes you just have to do the wrong thing.

Lose yourself in Saturday Superstore, Paul Daniel's Magic Show, the Sports Review of 1984, and the corridors of the BBC TV Centre. This is the ultimate warning if you're ever planning a DIY heist. 

Grab a slow-cooker and travel back to December 1984. You'll want to stay.

James Crookes has been writing comedy for TV and Radio for over 20 years. He has contributed to shows on BBC One, CBBC, and CBeebies, along with producing and co-presenting the Bauer Radio breakfast show, Big John @ Breakfast, since 2004. This is his second novel.

NOTE: Tash is a lovely lady, but like many adults, does sometimes rely on the "F-word" when she's flustered. Please consider this if easily offended or listening in the car.

Sake Jamie, its good!

After the hilarious rollercoaster that was book 1, book 2 doesn’t disappoint!
Another trip back to the 80’s another trip down memory lane. Who ever thought that Piglet crisps could bring back such vivid recall of Rubik’s cubes and Austin Princesses?
If you want or need a blast from the past, this is where you will find it.
Funny yet poignant, I can see this being a TV series if not a film.
Well done James Crookes.

You will not be disappointed!

This book is hilarious! So well written and has made me laugh out loud on far too many occasions! Already planning on re-listening to it again next Christmas!

Will definitely recommend to anyone who wants a laugh and fancies a bit of 80s nostalgia!

Funny and left me with a warm glow!

I’m so please a follow up book was written after such a comfort blanket of the first book. Very enjoyable and equally as comforting and funny as the first with such brilliant characters.
Loved it!

Brilliant sequel

I enjoyed the first book so much and was really looking forward to the follow up. Thankfully it did not disappoint! I love all the characters and found myself regularly laughing out loud while listening. Great story and it feels like it’s been left open for book 3!!

Pure brilliance

After reading the first book I was hooked. So soon as that was finished I started the second one straight away. It did not disappoint. So great to read. So funny. It has you in stitches just like the first book. I really hope book three comes soon.
